Another crash at notorious intersection near Avalon Mall, several brought to hospital

Emergency responders were called to a notorious intersection near the Avalon Mall in St. John'son Tuesday, following a crash involving at least three vehicles.

The front sections of a KiaSUV, a four-door sedanand a Ford F-150 truck were seen badly damagedat the intersection of Kenmount Road and Polina Road around noon.

Police and fire crews were at the scene, and traffic was temporarily reduced to one lane in each direction on KenmountRoad.

The RNC say several people were brought to the Health Sciences Centre to be treated forinjuries.

The intersection has developed a bad reputation for being the scene of crashes, and the City of St. John's has plans to relocate the mall entranceand move traffic lightsto avoid the risky right turn onto KenmountRoad.

Nick Coates, 27, was killed in 2013 when his motorcycle was struck by a pickup being driven by a drunk driver who had pulled offPolinaRoad onto Kenmount Road.
